it gets warmer
Warm air rises, and cool air sinks.
The warm air rises over the cold air mass, creating a boundary known as a front. This can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and sometimes severe weather as the warm air is forced to cool and condense.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.

As warm air rises, it expands and becomes less dense. This causes it to cool down, leading to the formation of clouds and potentially precipitation. The movement of warm air rising is part of the process known as convection.

When a cold front hits, usually the warm air rises.
The warm air rises over the cold air mass, creating a boundary known as a front. This can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and sometimes severe weather as the warm air is forced to cool and condense.
At the boundary between two air masses, there is often a front. This can result in changes in weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Fronts can be warm, cold, stationary, or occluded depending on the characteristics of the air masses involved.
lower density compared to cooler air, creating a buoyant force that causes it to move upward. This process is known as convection.
This describes what happens in a convection cycle.
